What is yeast overgrowth?
Candida lives naturally in our intestinal tract, until the intestinal ecology becomes toxic. The Candida then multiples at an accelerated rate that causes chronic health
consequences. Yeast is a fungus, a microscopic-size parasite-type organism. Candida lives and thrives in a dark, warm, moist environment—specifically in the mouth,
digestive tract and vagina. It is a single-cell microorganism that develops feeding tubes called hyphae, which grow directly into the intestinal walls causing them to
become porous and allowing toxins and undigested proteins and carbohydrates to flow through the bowel wall, only to be absorbed into the body and the blood
stream—clinically known as intestinal permeability, and commonly known as leaky gut syndrome. The fungal toxins created by Candida enter the bloodstream through the bowel
wall; the most common is acetaldehyde, a major waste-product of the yeast fungal organism, a poison converted by the liver into alcohol.
What are some causes of candida yeast overgrowth?
Birth control pills • Cortisone drugs • Nutritional deficiencies
Overly acid pH • Over-consumption of sugar and refined carbohydrates
Transmission vaginally from an infected partner
Higher progesterone levels causing increased PMS and symptoms during pregnancy
Repeated antibiotic use that destroy all the intestinal bacteria, good and bad
NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen™)
What are some consequences of yeast overgrowth?
During the growth process of Candida Albicans, toxic materials are emitted, spreading throughout the body and producing, but not limited to, the following
Digestive System — bloating, gas, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, constipation, inability to lose weight, insulin resistance
Nervous System — chronic fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, memory loss, brain-fog, depression and chronic insomnia. In children,
hyperactivity, autism, quick anger “short fuse,” and short attention span
Skin — hives, eczema, psoriasis, profuse sweating without physical exertion, acne, and nail fungus
Genito-urinary Tract — in women, mild to severe PMS symptoms including: depression, mood swings, fluid retention, cramps, recurrent vaginal
or bladder infections, loss of sexual desire, crying for no unknown reason. In men, chronic rectal or anal itching, recurrent prostatitis, impotence, genital and inner
Endocrine System — thyroid dysfunction, adrenal “burn-out”, pancreatic disorder. These disruptions cause symptoms of extreme fatigue,
muscle weakness, low body temperature, tingling and numbness in fingers, feet and toes, sugar and carbohydrate cravings and insulin resistance
Generalized Immune System — recurrent infections of especially the ears, nose, throat, respiratory and vaginal/genital areas
Hypersensitivity Syndrome — this occurs as the body attempts to neutralize candida overgrowth by producing antibodies (proteins) in an
attempt to neutralize the overgrowth. These antibodies cause the body to become hypersensitive to molds, foods and environmental factors
What else do I need to do to eradicate candida yeast?
During and after cleansing with CandaCleanse™, dietary changes are imperative to maintain a healthy balance. Eliminate all fruit and fruit
juices, sugar, honey, fructose, maple syrup, bovine dairy products, soy sauce, mushrooms, yeast-based breads and baked goods, and peanuts.
Limit your consumption of carbohydrate foods such as rice, pasta and breads to three to four servings daily (one serving equals 1 slice of
bread, or 1/2 c. cooked rice or pasta). These carbs convert to sugar; therefore, a modified diabetic-type diet is also an anti-yeast diet.
Drink plenty of pure water to amount to at least 1/2 ounce of water per pound of body weight daily (example: a 150 pound person needs to
consume 75 oz. of water or roughly 9 glasses).
Re-populate health-enhancing microorganisms in the intestinal tract with complexes of acidophilus and bifidus such as Caprobiotics Plus™.
Maintain healthy intestinal ecology by performing periodic colon fiber cleanses along with daily fiber supplementation such as the
ingredients contained in CapraCleanse™.
Enhance digestion by supplementing with digestive enzymes, like CapraZyme™, for better absorption and elimination.
“Yeast is NOT killed by antibiotics, but rather flourish in the resulting intestinal imbalance of ‘friendly’ bacteria. After antibiotic
therapy is complete, the reduced population of friendly bacteria allows yeast to multiply at alarming rates, releasing excessive toxins into the body. In turn, Candida
overgrowth also releases toxins that then weaken the body’s overall immune function.” —Dr. Gloria Gilbčre
Many researchers now believe that certain forms of yeast can travel through the blood and eventually inhabit any organ of the body.
Ingredients in CandaCleanse™ — A Proprietary Blend
CAPRYLIC ACID— A naturally occurring fatty acid commonly used as an ingredient in acidophilus. Used in formulas to fight yeast infections and balance friendly
(health-enhancing) intestinal bacteria.
UVA URSI— A perennial evergreen shrub made-up of tough, long trailing, and flexible stems. The roots have been used for centuries as a remedy for dysentery. For optimum
results, avoid all acidic foods such as oranges, Vitamin “C” and acid-containing juices that causes the urine to become acidic, creating a perfect ecology to promote growth
of fungus and yeast.
GARLIC POWDER— Contains more than 100 biologically useful chemicals. Garlic is known as one of nature’s antibiotics, and an excellent herb for building the immune system by
stimulating other immune cells such as macrophages and T-cells to fight bacteria and viral infections. Benjamin Lau, M.D., Ph.D. conducted a study where he injected garlic
extract into mice with Candida infections. After a day, the Candida colonies numbered 400, compared with 3500 colonies in the mice given only a salt-water solution. After
two days into the trial, the garlic treated mice were completely free of Candida.
Cellulase / A fiber-digesting enzyme not produced by the human body. The membrane of the Candida yeast is composed largely of chitin, therefore, it is thought to be
vulnerable to digestion by cellulose. When the cell wall is disseminated by cellulase, the Candida yeast dies.
Protease / An enzyme included to assure that none of the toxic fungal by-products produced from the Candida yeast die-off are present. Left unprotected, these toxic
substances are able to have poisonous effects on the blood.
GOLDTHREAD 10% ALKALOIDS— Is used for chronic intestinal congestion especially in cases of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Goldthread excels for symptoms of intestinal tract
deficient conditions whose symptoms include: dry mouth, gum (periodontal) problems, coated tongue and sluggish gastric secretions.
OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT— Exhibits a myriad of medicinal uses used for centuries. The leaves have shown to have significant anti-microbial action, and are an effective agent
against resistant strains of fungi which includes (yeast, Candida, viruses and bacteria).
PAU D’ARCO— Has shown to successfully treat fungal conditions such as athletic foot, and yeast infections such as Candida. It has a mild laxative effect that makes it
useful for chronic constipation. It has also shown promise in patients with arthritis, peptic ulcers, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
BARBERRY ROOT— The root and stem bark contains the medicinally active components of barberry. It has been used internally to treat skin conditions as well diarrhea caused
by bacteria such as e-coli and Candida. It also contains antioxidant constituents and may help reduce inflammation.
GRAPEFRUIT WHOLE POWDER— Is primary used as a treatment for vaginal yeast infections caused by Candida and the intestinal condition known as Candida Overgrowth Syndrome. It
is also used to kill strep, staph, salmonella, e-coli, influenza, parasites, herpes, fungi and travelers diarrhea.
HYSSOP (WILD OREGANO)— The leaves, dried herb and volatile oil are used medicinally. A test tube study demonstrated that oil of oregano inhibited the growth of Candida
